9 Month Old With A Shot Attention Span

Share

My 9 month old son is very VERY active. He's been crawling since he was 5 and a half months old and since then he never sits still. Since about 8 and a half months he's had a really short attention span. He'll play with a toy for a minute or 2 at the most, then he wants something new. And when he gets tired of that he'll trow his toy and want something else. He also gets frustrated very easily. Is it normal to have such a short attention span at his age?
